Landscape at Le Pouldu, the isolated house 1889

"Landscape at Le Pouldu, the Isolated House," painted in 1889 by Paul Gauguin, showcases the artist's characteristic use of vibrant color and simplified forms. This painting, depicting a coastal scene in Brittany, France, exemplifies Gauguin's move away from Impressionism towards a more expressive, synthetic style. The sweeping landscape, with its contrasting hues of blue, green, and red, creates a sense of depth and tranquility. The prominent figure in the foreground, likely a local peasant woman, adds a human element to the composition, highlighting Gauguin's interest in the lives of ordinary people.
